inexpensive,boots right up,works with fx8150. A simple no frills board that works great.
tried to use it as an atm and didn't work....since you have to put a negative.oh yeah and only 2 sata cables and that is fine but if you don't have spare and need more get them.
Bought this to see how cheap I could build a system based on the fx8150 with liquid cooling kit.
Thing with spare memory I had sitting around booted to bios, adjusted some settings and installed windows 8 without a problem.
I did not overclock it I just let board do it's thing as this thing will be sold to a business.
The build is
This board. $55 after rebate and related mailing costs
AMD fx 8150 with liquid kit $190
raidmax super hurricane case ( low air flow,funny name) $25 after rebate
550watt ps, $35, AMD hd6950 1gb $118 shipped, 60gb ssd $60
750gb WD hd $65, win 8 $69
Grand total $562 and it could easily game.
I obviously did not buy everything here but this,cpu,case I did
good price for what you get
like every msi board i've bought, the bios only sees 4 sata ports, the other two are there for looks.
i'm annoyed because i don't have a sata port open for an ssd
